Improving test coverage is ongoing, currently fairly static at 85% (excluding online tests). Tests and Python PEP8/PEP257 style are checked with continuous integration on Linux (TravisCI) and Windows (AppVeyor). We may adopt Python code formatting style tool black to reduce human time writing compliant code.
